A new fund recently came out from Victoria Bay Asset Management, United States Gasoline (UGA). It tracks the futures contract on unleaded gasoline delivered to the NY Harbor traded on the NYMEX. If $4 a barrel is what we’re expecting (especially heading into Memorial Day) this is a nice play to hedge against the cost at the pump, even for your own account.
